An older married couple is considering selling their home and moving into a continuing care re-tirement community (CCRC). The major benefit of a CCRC is:
a. they provide affordable living for older adults.
b. they have all levels of care in one location, allowing community members to easily transition between levels.
c. they are paid for by Medicare.
d. they allow the older adult's family to re-tain ownership of the property after the owner dies.
ANS: B
A major benefit of a CCRC is that it has all levels of care in one location, which allows commu-nity members to make the transition between levels without life-disrupting moves. Costs of a CCRC can range greatly from an affordable rate to a very large amount of money. The cost of a CCRC is not covered by Medicare. In the majority of the CCRCs, the property reverts back to the community after the death of the owner.
